Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are on different medications for treatment of impetigo, these medications can also have side effects.

Similar to any other drugs the medicines used in this treatment are also known to cause the adverse effects, but the benefit of the medicine over weighs the risk of the medicine.

The symptoms may be due to side effects of the drugs which you are taking, because these drugs may cause irritation of the gastric mucosa and may cause vomiting.

Whenever you are taking these antibiotics you need to take after the foof and with adequate amount of fluids, which will help to reduce the direct effect of the drug on the mucosa.
Thank you
